What is Tonsillitis?
Tonsillitis is the inflammation of the tonsils — two small glands at the back of the throat that help fight infections. It’s a common condition, especially in children, but adults can get it too. It may be caused by viral or bacterial infections, and often leads to sore throat, difficulty in swallowing, fever, and swollen glands.
If you or your child frequently suffer from throat infections or notice persistent pain, it may be time to consult a trusted ENT specialist in Indore.
Common Symptoms of Tonsillitis
- Sore throat and difficulty swallowing
- Red, swollen tonsils, sometimes with white patches
- Fever and chills
- Swollen lymph nodes in the neck
- Bad breath or voice changes
- Headache and ear pain
These symptoms may appear suddenly and can range from mild to severe. If the condition keeps coming back or affects daily life, you may need medical intervention.
When to See a Doctor(ENT Specialist)?
Not all sore throats are tonsillitis. But if you or your child has frequent episodes, severe pain, or difficulty breathing/swallowing, visit Dr. Anil Gwaliorkar, an experienced ENT doctor in Indore.
He can diagnose the cause and suggest the right tonsillitis treatment in Indore, whether medical or surgical.
Tonsillitis Treatment Options
1. Medical Management
For viral tonsillitis, rest, hydration, and pain relief are usually enough. In bacterial cases (commonly caused by Streptococcus), a course of antibiotics may be prescribed.
2. Tonsillectomy (Surgical Removal of Tonsils)
If tonsillitis keeps returning (typically more than 5–6 times a year) or causes complications like breathing issues or abscesses, tonsillectomy may be recommended. This is a safe procedure done under general anesthesia.
Dr. Anil Gwaliorkar has over 20 years of experience in performing tonsillectomy in Indore with excellent outcomes and patient comfort.
